• demo invitation Windows stückelwerk by Black Maiden [web]
• Was almost a thumbs up, even with the cliche cell/cartoon shading, but then they decided to repeat all the effects, because they couldn't think up any more to run out the soundtrack. Just cut it short next time, guys. Otherwise yeah, some nice visuals and the music ain't bad.

• demo Windows 6th June by Syn[Rj] [web]
• Nah, not very good. The landscape was a little impressive at first, but then went on too long with some bad camera movement. But I'll be nice to these guys and give it a piggy.

• demo Windows mdma by Threepixels [web]
• Very nice. The middle part is just a little too reminiscent of 604. And a bit slow on a Tbird 1.4 with GeForce 2, in 640x480 with all the features. But I can live with it.

• demo Windows Monkeys 'n Chihuahua's by Fairlight [web]
• Cute design and soundtrack. Retro or not, it's just something to watch after a hangover or if you're in the mood for some light demo cuisine.

• demo Windows C.l.o.n.e by Critical Mass
• Poser models again? Sigh.. Impressive otherwise, a bit weird/creepy maybe.. I don't remember seeing this in the compo jury, but yeah, I guess it should've been shown anyway. 6th place sounds about right to me. Will consider thumbing it up when I watch it at home.

• demo Windows Liquid... Wen? by Haujobb
• What Spin said, basically. Watching this on the jury, during the first part, I thought yeah, the usual hjb, top 5 I guess. Then part two played, and kept going and going.. and was just.. beautiful. I felt a lot of emotion and knew it could win. Multipart demos are not a crime! Vic still owns me. The design may still be their regular formula, but dammit it _works_. Hope you enjoy your Rob Hubbard autographed C64, guys. :) Glad you only faked your death.

• demo Linux Windows Chimera by Halcyon
• Allright, I watched it, and allright, I think we did see it in the jury, and it obviously wasn't picked. So we're a bunch of evil bastards, hey, it happens :). It's.. interesting, maybe thought provoking toward the end, but it's really not big screen/big compo material. At least you can download it and watch it yourself, and that's what counts. Like others have said, much of the praise comes from the group name alone - though the music from croaker is rather nice. Oh, and if you have ADD, don't watch this demo. It moves verrry slooowly. :)
  
  (another wonderful neutral/mixed/inconclusive review)

• 4k Windows nafta by tAAt [web]
• Hah, the tAAt guys are sitting next to me right now so I can't diss it too much :P. But I'm guessing selfvoting helped get this to 2nd place quite a bit. Nothing special.

• >because the jury doesn't understand art this didn't show up in the compo.
  >you be the jury.
  
  Um, no, I was on the jury. It didn't show up in the compo because it never made it to the jury to begin with. Now if it was entered on time and the main demo organizer deleted it before I got a chance to see it, then my bad.
  I haven't seen it yet, but to date, there's no Halcyon demo I wouldn't want to see in compo. The scene needs to get a little less paranoid.
